From the Paper:

"Critique of Cote-Arsenault's and Freije's Article Introduction Support for women who want to get pregnant after losing a baby is becoming more important all the time. Losing babies is more common today mainly because of medical technology. As well, miscarriage and stillbirth also are common experiences for pregnant women. When these women become pregnant again, they experience conflict consisting of joy and expectation along with anxiety and fear. This issue was chosen for two reasons. First, it is a problem created mainly by medicine, and secondly, society tends to look down on women who lose a baby."
